Thank you. With regard to this legislation relative to adding a referendum on the ballot is that anyway

President McCarthy
Yes. There’s a specific process defined in the Keno law for how the ballot question is presented and how the
hearing gets scheduled.

| was under the impression that we were elected to make these decisions. That’s fine and well and you can
make all the remarks you want from the gallery but you vote people out of office, that’s what you do. You don’t
have to include me in that package, but that’s normally when you don’t agree with decisions and the votes that
people make then you vote against them. That’s the authority that you have as a citizen, and | respect that.
